ION DISSONANCE will release their new album, Minus The Herd, on June 5th.

The band has posted their first single from the album, entitled 'Kneel' on their MySpace page for fans to enjoy as they await the full album’s release.

Singer Kevin McCaughey comments on the track saying, "The song is called 'Kneel'. "Kneel" is given as an order. The idea behind this song lyrically is simple. A troubled man, seeks absolution for sins he has not yet committed. The idea behind the song itself is quite simple too. It's groovy, its heavy and hopefully you will enjoy it!”

Listen to 'Kneel' here.

Ion Dissonance recently shot a video for this track with director Andrew DeYoung (CHIODOS, SCARS OF TOMORROW) that will be serviced to major outlets for airplay at the time of the album's release.

"The video was filmed in the mountains of Santa Clarita Ca. The set was previously intended for stunts and special effects. There were flipped over busses, smashed up RV's and a whole lot of cool props lying around. It was the first time any of us had been on a set of Video shoot, and we were all very pleased and excited with our first experience. It was awesome. The team we worked with were very professional, and we are all looking forward to seeing what the final product will look like."

Ion Dissonance is going to be on the road non-stop taking their assaulting and turbulent metal cacophony to the masses in the USA, Canada and Europe. The band will be touring in May through Europe alongside DEAD TO FALL and THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD and multiple dates with DYING FETURS and SKINLESS. They have also recently been added to the massive full US Summer Slaughter Tour that features NECROPHAGIST, DECAPITATED, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, CATTLE DECAPITATION, AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK and more.
